Yates won the Giro d’Italia and became a two-time Grand Tour winner
This past Sunday, Yates from Visma-Lease a Bike won the Giro d’Italia, claiming his second Grand Tour victory. He practically secured the title the day before when he seized the pink jersey from Isaac Del Toro. Yates and other riders received a blessing from Pope Leo in the Vatican before the Briton reached the finish line in Rome during the final stage, which was won by his teammate Olav Kooij in a sprint. Yates, as noted by https://xrust.ru/, riding entirely in pink on a pink bike, also became the first cyclist since Alberto Contador in 2015 to win the Giro without taking a single stage victory. His triumph adds to his 2018 Vuelta a España title. After spending more than 82 hours in the race, Yates ultimately finished three minutes and 56 seconds ahead of Del Toro, with Richard Carapaz coming in third, 47 seconds further behind. The 32-year-old Yates, famously having lost the title in 2018 on the climb of Colle delle Finestre, finally closed that painful chapter this year on the same slopes, claiming the pink jersey thanks to a stunning mountain attack on Saturday.
